Til topps på 5000, 800 og hinder
Tre norske baneseire i USA
Litt ubemerket har Kristine Eikrem Engeset (bildet), Martine Eikemo Borge og Tom Erling Kårbø tatt hver sin seier på sterke tider i baneløp i USA.
Kristine Eikrem Engeset debuterte på 5000 m i Bryan Clay Invitational 20. april, og det gjorde hun med seier og 16.41,19. Bak seg hadde hun 49 jenter, men seieren var klar med hele 18 sekunder ned til jente nummer to, Danille West.
Dagen i forvegen hadde Kristine løpt 1500 m på 4.30,93 i Mt Sac Relays i Walnut, California. Heatet hennes ble vunnet av Muriel Coneo på 4.18,74.
I det samme stevnet løp Vegard Ølstad 1500 m for menn og ble nummer åtte i heat nummer ni med 3.54,27.
Her var det imidlertid Tom Erling Kårbø som var dagens nordmann med seier på 3000 m hinder på sterke 8.44,37. Han var drøye sekundet foran Micah Chelimo på andreplass.
21. april avslutta Martine Eikemo Borge den gode norsk-amerikanske uka med seier på 800 m i John McDonell Invitational i Fayettville, Arizona. Martine vant på 2.06,54 som var ny utendørspers. I vinter løp hun på 2.05,41 inne. Seieren i løpet var klar med halvannet sekunds margin ned til neste jente.
